The Arbor

It’s been a year since I built the fence and since it hasn’t fallen over (yet) I felt it was time to move on to the next phase. Da little women has always planned for an arbor, so time to get started.

Doing the work by myself, I enlisted the help of The Third Hand. In the photo you can see it (the orange item to the right of the ladder in the 3rd photo) supporting one end of this 2×10x10 as I secured the other end to the post.

Prior to assembling this project, I coated the wood with Thompson’s Honey Gold water seal and stain.

A well established Bougainvillea (AKA – Poke N Kill Ya”) has been transplanted.
